I've spent the morning fawning over the items in Vain & Vapid's "sold items" on Etsy, in particular the Cecilia Lisbon dress. That's one of the things I love and hate about Etsy; you can spend way too much time looking through shops' sold items and lamenting the things you've missed out on. This one in particular is breakin' my heart. How many ways is it perfect? Let's see. Is it all floaty and airy with a ruffle detail, criss-crossed in the back and named after a character from The Virgin Suicides? Check, check, and check.

What a gorgeous dress! I love the criss-crossed back! It adds a little sex-appeal to the more romantic/ girlish style. But there still seems to be a chance to buy the Cecilia Lisbon Dress. As one can read in the shop announcements of Vain and Vapid, the Cecilia Lisbon Dress will be sold again when it gets warmer.

I could not agree with you more! The amount of time I have spent pouring over images of beautiful dresses that now belong to a lucky owner is just silly. I like to rationalize by saying that at least I can observe how they accessorized it or that I have now memorized the dress to the point where if I come across one just like it I'll jump on the chance to buy it. lol.
